ABSTRACT
This chapter describes across four sections with topics covered including: intelligence testing, classroom observations, interpretation of material, varying effects of the environment and interviewing techniques. It provides a detailed study of mental development and education in adolescent girls in the 1930’s as well as considering how important it can be to have a psychologist in the classroom. For a child successfully to live through the experiences appropriate to her age, and to be ready to pass on to the next, it seems that there must be neither too little satisfaction, nor too much. Her interests, as shown in the interview, seemed to be mainly in physical and simple emotional experiences, with a bias towards the active and assertive side; she disliked quiet situations, and disliked being alone, although at the same time she was not particularly fond of parties.
